The application, reference 26/0823/PP, relates to the St James Business Centre at 75 Linwood Road, Paisley, where the proposal is to build a new supermarket with associated car parking and landscaping.
The application was received by the council on 13 October 2026 and validated on 22 October, meaning it can now progress through the planning process.
According to the submitted proposal, the development would include a new supermarket, a trolley bay, car parking, landscaping changes and alterations to the existing drive-through car park.
The application is currently awaiting a decision from Renfrewshire Council.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The proposal will now be considered through the planning process, with the council assessing the application and its supporting documents before reaching a decision.
Supporting documents submitted include a transport assessment, a flood risk assessment, an air quality impact assessment, a drainage strategy and a design statement.
The planning application is listed as 26/0823/PP and can be followed through Renfrewshire Council’s planning system.
No final decision has yet been made, and the proposal remains subject to planning permission.
The development could bring another major supermarket option to the Linwood and Paisley area, although its eventual construction will depend on the outcome of the planning process.
